array_search — Searches the array for a given value and returns the first corresponding key if successful.

Description

array_search(
    mixed $needle,
array $haystack,
bool $strict = false
): int|string|false
Searches for needle in haystack.

Parameters

needle
The searched value.
haystack
The array.
strict
If the third parameter strict is set to true then the array_search() function will search for identical elements in the haystack. This means it will also perform a strict type comparison of the needle in the haystack, and objects must be the same instance.
